[RTEMS/QEMU] boot RTEMS on ARM QEMU

Thanks for Heshame Almatary.
Now I am able to run RTEMS on QEMU-arm.

To prevent from any wrong setup, he recommended me to adopt RTEMS Source Builder(RSB) to build up the qemu and run with following commands:
"qemu-system-arm -no-reboot -net none -nographic -smp 2 -icount
auto -M realview-pbx-a9 -m 256M -kernel ticker.exe"  without debugger
"qemu-system-arm -S -s -no-reboot -net none -nographic -smp 2 -icount
auto -M realview-pbx-a9 -m 256M -kernel ticker.exe" with GDB

I mimicked this tutorial and build up my target.

I remove some options, i.e., smp, from his recommendation and I get the result:
---dump---
./qemu-system-arm -no-reboot -nographic -M realview-pbx-a9 -m 256M -kernel

Hint: the building process of qemu with RSB will be longer since it build up all the supported target qemu for you.

khchen@khchen-All-Series:~/development/rtems/4.11/bin$ ./qemu-system-arm -no-reboot -net none -nographic -icount auto -M realview-pbx-a9 -m 256M -kernel /home/khchen/development/build-rtems/arm-rtems4.11/c/realview_pbx_a9_qemu/testsuites/samples/ticker/ticker.exe

The option icount auto will let QEMU become stuck.

arm-rtems4.11-gdb is able to debug the qemu with the default port 1234.
target remote :1234 and so on.

RSB+RTEMS 5/6 with QEMU-SMP (ARM realview_pbx_a9_qemu as example)

Since I got a request regarding this blog  written in 2016, summarizing again the complete flow with the latest version of RTEMS could be a good idea. Prepare a suitable workspace according to the adopted operating system on your host ( https://docs.rtems.org/branches/master/user/hosts/index.html ):  sudo apt-get build-dep build-essential gcc-defaults g++ gdb git unzip pax bison flex texinfo unzip python3-dev libpython-dev libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev Checkout RSB and build: git clone git://git.rtems.org/rtems-source-builder.git rsb change directory to rsb/rtems/ and type ../source-builder/sb-set-builder --prefix=<the path you like to store the built toolchains> <the name of bsp> For example, to use QEMU, I need toolchains for ARM, so: ../source-builder/sb-set-builder --prefix=/home/kh.chen/respository/build/. 6/rtems-arm This will take a while. Please ensure your connection is reliable. Add the built folder into your PATH. For example, you can add one line in ~/.bas...

[LEGOEV3] About Ev3dev kernel upgrading, real-time operating system, and bugs in 4.10 linux kernel.

By following the tutorial in Ev3 , one who is interested to run Linux on Ev3 should be able to have Debian with 3.16.7 linux kernel with the internet feature. For the research/lecture usage, I start to patch 4.10 Linux kernel and litmus-RT on it. I will list and update the possible delights for some of students who are just starting to develop Linux kernel stuffs. If in Ev3dev wget fails, please add on --no-check-certificate in the option before the download link. Ref: http://www.tecmint.com/install-kernel-3-16-in-debian/ As far as we can find, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGy5XrI6lLs provides the video about how to patching Linux kernel for LitmusRT. The tutorial in installation page ( https://wiki.litmus-rt.org/litmus/InstallationInstructions ) is missing the command for the newbie who is lacking experience of linux tools: sudo apt-get install build-essential kernel-package \ libncurse5-dev bzip2 fakeroot \ And use the following command for wrapping the kernel as deb pac...

[ubuntu] Removing the instance/package which is not fully installed from apt-get

When I'm installing g77-3.4 for pgplot, I trivially use dkpg to install it. However, g77-3.4-doc is not able to fully installed. And I stuck for this kind of error due to the broken packages (refer to here ): dpkg: error processing realplayer (--configure/--purge/--remove): (Whatever messages) Errors were encountered while processing: g77-3.4-doc cd /var/lib/dpkg/info sudo rm g77-3.4-doc* sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq g77-3.4-doc Hmm, now apt-get works well again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9HJ-iAzf3k
